2094954 - Item Description Characters Limit

When editing the item description you can only enter 4000 characters.
Once this is hit you cannot enter any more information.
Is there any way to increase this limit in configuration? Or make this an unlimited field?

When hitting the limit, the administrators will see the message "the text entered is XXXX bytes. This must be less than 4,000 bytes long".

• There was a limit of characters of 4000 on the item Description (JIRA LRN-6324).
• This was then changed to a limit of 4000 bytes in a later release with each character including spaces equating to one byte.
• When adding style identifiers such as Bold or Colour to the text, this adds html tags to the text in the background code which equate to extra bytes of code.
• This applies to any html editable description field where byte calculation will include html encode to encpsulate any text.
